Little Ushkys (Ears)

So its time for my weekly post!!!! I am excited!!! Since I started talking about remedies for the ear last week I thought why not just keep with the topic. The annoying ear infections were the cause of constant visits to the doctor for my family.  Garlic Oil is an essential in my house that is always readily available.

People underestimate the power of garlic! It has anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties.  To make garlic oil (I personally use an old baby food jar) Get a small glass jar , Place 3-4 garlic cloves and cover them in olive oil, Let sit for at least 24 hours.

After 24 hours the oil will contain the properties of garlic. Typically when my children will tell me their ear hurts I make a mixture of 1 tsp garlic oil and 1 drop of PURE lavender oil.

(When buying essential oils and herbs I always make sure there are no fillers added and the best place to get that is at Natures Sunshine. In a health store I will typically find the essential oil plus jojoba oil or some other type of oil added which lessen the strength of the oil. At Natures Sunshine everything is 100% pure no filler and there screen there herbs to make sure they have absolutely no chemicals)

I typically will double the mixture so I always have enough and don’t have to constantly make it. I then will pour the tsp of garlic oil and 1 drop lavender oil into a small jar with a pipette that I got at whole foods. I will typically place 2 drops in the ear that is hurting 3 times a day for at least 2 days, even if it doesn’t hurt. BUT I ALWAYS MAKE SURE 10000% THAT THERE EAR DRUM IS NOT RUPTURED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  If the ear drum is ruptured I WOULD NEVER PUT GARLIC OIL IN THEIR EAR.

3. Place 3-4 garlic cloves and cover them in olive oil,
